It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is

All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?



My buddy went to the GMC dealer for some new tires on his 2015 diesel
pickup. Came home with a 2017. They gave him $43k for the truck, $10k off
the new one, a $700 Costco gift card and some other stuff. So instead of
spending a grand for new tires, got a new truck for not a lot more.

I keep getting these cards for the 2009 Silverado 250HD with the
Duramax/Allison combo. But, I don't
think I'd want to mess with the DEF crap. With mine, I don't.


My son in law has a newer RAM diesel. DEF does not seem to be a problem.
Put a gallon in the tank and good to go for 5000 miles or so I think. The
new Trucks are nice. I am looking to replace my camper on the truck, but
my 2004 will bring about $25k, so only $55k more for a new truck. I think
I will stay with mine and the 160k miles.



$25K + $55K more for a new truck? $80K for a pickup truck? Wowser! And I
thought I was slightly nuts for dropping what I did plus a beat-up
Altima for a 4WD Taco.

That could include a camper.

It's not hard getting a *decent* pickup up to the $70K range.

Why do you have a taco truck? A car can pull a landscape trailer.

I like tacos.


Sounds like a racist comment.


Really? Liking tacos is racist? Actually, here I was referring to the
nickname of a Toyota Tacoma..."taco."

sure its racist Harry. You got all bent out of shape when the guy talked
about trumps anti-illegal stance when he said something about a 'taco
truck on every corner" Don't you remember that?


Besides, other than Harry I have never heard of a a Toyota truck referred
to as a Taco.



Well, *that* surely settles it. Sheesh. It's a term that actually
originated many years ago in California, and there are many, many
references to the term.

Here's a Pinterest page called Toyota Taco.

Last week I was talking to a guy in the local Giant parking lot who had
just taken delivery of a orange Tacoma very similar to mine. He referred
to our trucks as "Tacos." He was in his 50s, I would guess.

I have a friend who lives in Tacoma. I'll see what he says.

It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is
warranted and titled as "new". Peppy little sucker though and quiet.
All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?



My buddy went to the GMC dealer for some new tires on his 2015 diesel
pickup. Came home with a 2017. They gave him $43k for the truck, $10k off
the new one, a $700 Costco gift card and some other stuff. So instead of
spending a grand for new tires, got a new truck for not a lot more.

I keep getting these cards for the 2009 Silverado 250HD with the
Duramax/Allison combo. But, I don't
think I'd want to mess with the DEF crap. With mine, I don't.


My son in law has a newer RAM diesel. DEF does not seem to be a problem.
Put a gallon in the tank and good to go for 5000 miles or so I think. The
new Trucks are nice. I am looking to replace my camper on the truck, but
my 2004 will bring about $25k, so only $55k more for a new truck. I think
I will stay with mine and the 160k miles.



$25K + $55K more for a new truck? $80K for a pickup truck? Wowser! And I
thought I was slightly nuts for dropping what I did plus a beat-up
Altima for a 4WD Taco.

That could include a camper.

It's not hard getting a *decent* pickup up to the $70K range.

I suppose. I use mine for light hauling, mostly landscape stuff for my
wife, and pulling a landscape trailer on occasion. We don't *do* camping.


Why do you have a taco truck? A car can pull a landscape trailer.

I like tacos.


Sounds like a racist comment.


Really? Liking tacos is racist? Actually, here I was referring to the
nickname of a Toyota Tacoma..."taco."


Taco truck just s racist!



Maybe you need a nap.


Nap would be nice. But does not defer from your racist commentary.



What racist commentary, bilious?

Making comparisons meaningless. Nobody doubts the places that hang off

around 2008? Until 2016.
That seemed odd to me but maybe Mrs E got a
good deal on a leftover 2016 model.
I'm sure Richard knows the story.

BTW..Toyota sent me a form letter today saying how special I am owning a
2013 Highlander and living in this geographic area. Due to high demand
for my model they have a special promotions on to enable be to
upgrade to a 2017 model.
Aren't those car salesmen thoughtful.


It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is
warranted and titled as "new". Peppy little sucker though and quiet.
All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?



My buddy went to the GMC dealer for some new tires on his 2015 diesel
pickup. Came home with a 2017. They gave him $43k for the truck, $10k off
the new one, a $700 Costco gift card and some other stuff. So instead of
spending a grand for new tires, got a new truck for not a lot more.

I keep getting these cards for the 2009 Silverado 250HD with the
Duramax/Allison combo. But, I don't
think I'd want to mess with the DEF crap. With mine, I don't.


My son in law has a newer RAM diesel. DEF does not seem to be a problem.
Put a gallon in the tank and good to go for 5000 miles or so I think. The
new Trucks are nice. I am looking to replace my camper on the truck, but
my 2004 will bring about $25k, so only $55k more for a new truck. I think
I will stay with mine and the 160k miles.



$25K + $55K more for a new truck? $80K for a pickup truck? Wowser! And I
thought I was slightly nuts for dropping what I did plus a beat-up
Altima for a 4WD Taco.

That could include a camper.

It's not hard getting a *decent* pickup up to the $70K range.

No camper. Diesel, LT crew cab. Leather, navigation, air, etc.

I got mine at Carmax. Diesel LTZ with all the towing stuff for $20K less
than MSRP. It was a 2009 I
bought in 2010. Very happy with the truck and the transaction. Don't use
the navigation system. The
update CD was about $165 last time I checked, several years ago. The
Garmin gets lifetime updates
for 'free' and was cheaper than one GM update.


I am referring to a new 2017 truck. My 2004 was a window sticker of
$45,000. Go on eBay and look for the update CD. Got one for the wife's
Toyota for about $10 instead of the dealer $165. My truck nav system is an
Alpine system. Did not get one when I bought the truck and when the CD
changer went out replaced with an alpine system. Problem with the Nav
system updates for the truck is they are free, but require a window system
to install the updates. I do not have a working windows laptop anymore.



ebay seems to have the update SDs for my truck for $40, as opposed to
the $170 the dealers want.




You buy bootleg software? I'm shocked.


No, ****-for-brains, they are genuine Toyota issue SDs. The more you
insult here, the more you demonstrate how little you know.

Poor guy ...

I'll be damned. Ebay had one for $19, brand new in the case. Never thought to look there. Thanks.

Congratulations Harry Krause! A non-anti-Trump and non-inflammatory post. You are to be commended.

I'm not sure I'd buy one at $40.00. I only used the NAV app on the truck
once, just to see how it worked. My wife uses the NAV on her car, though.

Never been a real Nav fan. I guess I just figured out how to find my
way around without it for the million or more miles I have put on
cars.

In the old days, a map and a little driving around in a new place I had traveled to had me finding my way around just fine for the week or two I was there. Now with nav leading you around, it seems that the learning curve is much longer.

Is nice since few phone books available to look up a business in the area.

I think Nav causes people's sense of direction to atrophy and the kids
who grow up with it will be lost if it stops working. It will be like
losing their calculator and trying to do math with a pencil.
